Dog Walking Tempe Junction

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. My family had a two high energy dogs growing up and even from a young age I would enjoy caring for the two of them. After they passed, I volunteered at my local humane society, working mainly with dogs. When I was about 17, I convinced my family to adopt a puppy. I taught him basic commands, potty training, and basic leash skills. I currently own a cat who is equal parts sweetheart and menace. Being tasked with raising a kitten turned out to have a massive learning curve, but he is absolutely spoiled with playtime, toys, and treats. He is currently being leash trained and we’re working on anxiety associated with his crate. I am extremely flexible since I am in a hybrid program for classes, so all of my didactic/classroom work is fully online and accessible from anywhere and anytime! I do work Friday mornings from 8am-12pm and may not be available some weekends since I work every third weekend minimum. Otherwise, I’m completely flexible and will always try to work with you! I care for all pets with love and respect. The main goal is to establish trust with new pets by allowing them to approach me with interest on their own terms, even if it takes a while. Providing pets with playtime and attention is a priority after their daily basic needs are met. I believe in gentle correction or making an activity more interesting with treats or a favorite toy when a pet is acting up or disinterested.

“Angel is the best! He Is very responsible and cares a lot for our puppy! He loves to play and spend time with him like he’s his own dog. His compassion and education about animals Will help him become a great VET in the future. We are lucky to have Angel as our repeat sister!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life. I have a husky of 6 years that is practically a cat in a dog’s body. I personally get very anxious when leaving my furry friends for trips, so I know how important it is to send pictures and updates of how your fur baby is doing. 9 times out of 10 I am the person in the corner playing with the dog at social events, so I will make sure your pets are well entertained and having a good time! I am a newly licensed Cosmetologist and am currently attending Mesa Community College to get my Associates degree in Beauty & Wellness. My classes are online, so I have a very flexible schedule. Right now I am only taking house sitting requests for long weekends for ex Fri-Mon. Besides that I am open for everything else. I have a husky that has severe separation anxiety, so I will make sure that your pets are calm, safe, & sound even if that means sitting on the floor with them for hours. When taking care of multiple pets at once, I am very aware of my surroundings and making sure that everyone is getting along and having fun.

“Ashley arrived promptly and followed all instructions getting into the apartment for my 14 year old madam Biba … Biba would take Ashley for her walk and Ashley was lovely to be patient, Ashley also sent photos everyday of Biba loving her early morning walks. I highly recommend her and will be using her when we get back after the summer break.”

“Kristen is wonderful! She went out of her way to come meet my dog before ever taking on/accepting being a dog walker. She is now my go-to dog walker and I can’t imagine leaving him in anyone else’s hands! She’s very communicative and professional.”

“Yanssel goes above and beyond to ae sure my big dig is safe, loved and well taken care of. She always sends plenty if pictures and communicates very thoroughly if something seems off. Yanssel is very trustworthy around my pets and in my home alone. Would recommend 100%.”

About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets for years! I have watched every animal - from dogs and cats to lizards and snakes, and love every moment of it. I’ve always had pets at home and I love fur-babies more than anything! I have trained 3 puppies and around 5 kittens! I am currently a college student, but with my schedule, I am able for walking or check-ins almost any time of the week! Weekends are completely open besides Sundays 12-2. I always ensure that my clients homes look better than I found it! I understand everyone has a different way of raising their animals and I respect any training or specifications given to me. I am comfortable with just about anything for pets!

About: I'm gonna be honest and say that I don't have any "professional experience," BUT I have pet sat and house sat for my family members multiple times when they've gone out of town, so I do have something under my belt. I have also been surrounded by a number of both cats and dogs since I was a baby, which I have had the pleasure of taking care of and growing up with. I love animals of every kind, even the mean ones, and I would love to love yours too. I'm currently a full-time student, but half of my schedule is online, which frees up a lot of my time to take care of sweet fluffy babies! (Which is what I'd rather be doing anyway, so...) Whatever is most comfortable for you and your pets is what I will roll with. I am not in the business of messing up any routines, so you just let me know exactly what you want done for your pet and it'll happen. Boom.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Growing up, I cared for my own small dog and regularly watched family members’ and neighbors’ dogs through walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’ve also expanded my experience by volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I have delt with numerous dogs with high energy personalities or sometimes ones with bad behavior habits. I always handle situations with care and would love to wear your dog out! I genuinely love being around animals and always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and responsible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, or simply giving dogs lots of attention and affection. My goal is always to treat every dog like they’re my own and provide the best care possible. When visiting your fur baby I would love to take them on a walk have a good play session and give them all the attentive care they need! I have a very open availability and if I get a request enough in advance, I am willing to take off work in order to work around my client's schedule! Even if I do have work, it is part-time only for a couple of hours and can care for your furry loved ones right when I get off! With my current situation, I am only able to care for large pets such as dogs in my client’s home. I have a reliable mode of transportation meaning I can drive myself whenever needed. I have plenty of space in an extra room to care for small pets if that is the case!

About: I have been caring for dogs since my sophomore year of high school, gaining experience with everything from training energetic puppies to supporting the unique needs of senior dogs. I am Pet CPR certified, comfortable administering medications, and skilled at providing safe, attentive, and loving care tailored to each dog’s personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I am currently in school and only have in-person classes Monday through Wednesday. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability throughout the rest of the week, including weekends, to dedicate time to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I live in a dog-friendly apartment where pets are welcome and safe, and I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in my home. When visiting clients’ homes, I am always respectful of their space and follow their routines closely. I’m also happy to accommodate extra requests, like watering plants or bringing in mail, to help give peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve had all types of pet dogs (small, medium, large) that I’ve learned how to take care of. I have been paid to watch and clean family members dogs in the past. I am young so I am able to do more labor. I am able to give dogs oral medication, and have experience using medicinal creams on dogs. I am able to (and love to!) play with dogs to make sure they have fun. I am no squeamish with cleaning up after animal mistakes, and I can care for multiple dogs as once including puppies and seniors! I’m soon to be enrolled in college full time. I can care for pets over weekends for the full day, and Friday’s after 10 am!! Until school starts though, (August 9th) I am free every day at every time!! If needed, I can watch animals at my mom’s house which has a nice, fenced backyard to play in along with 3 others dogs and 2 cats. (Will mention, one cat is more fiesty with other animals, but i will be putting her in a separate space, and the most she could do is claw) I don’t think I would recommend my mom’s home for seniors or puppies due to an overstimulating environment and a 5 year old.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. My grandmother has trained golden retrievers year after year in things like search and rescue, and agility ever since I can remember. I've participated in the trainings as a kid, and that's when I first fell in love with animals. I can check in with your pet while you are away, and spend time with them in your absence. I can feed, exercise, and do whatever it takes to keep your pet happy while you are away. I've been using Rover for a decade now, and I love it. I'm an easy-going person who loves hiking and a good Netflix show when I'm not at work or working with Rover. I've lived in Arizona for over seven years, and I love exploring and making new animal friends. I love spending time with animals, so caring for other’s’ fits into my routine perfectly! I currently work 7-4pm in Scottsdale, so I am able to pet/house sit around those hours. I am an early morning person and I have no problem getting up early to play with you pet(s) prior to going in to work! I provide a loving an nuturing environment for your pet while you are away. When your pet is in my care, they will feel comfortable, safe, and happy.

“Kaylie was awesome. She made sure Sampson was taken care of. She took him on a walk then played with with him afterwards. He was super happy when I came home.”

“Alaina was the perfect dog walker for our pup Rosie! She always takes care to manage the environment (hot pavement etc) while making sure Rosie has a great time. Additionally she is very responsive and communicative which is much appreciated. Thanks Alaina!”

About: My mom was a veterinarian, so I grew up with pets. Not only do I have a deep love for animals, like my mom, but I also have true experience caring for them. I’m free Friday-Sunday and occasionally have free days during the week. I currently work part-time and attend ASU part-time, so I’m not available for anything last minute. I always care for pets in their home the way they would be cared for by their owner to avoid causing them any stress or anxiety.

About: I can not think of a single moment in my life where an animal was not present. I have been caring for pets my whole life and that love brought me to my career as a vet tech. I am not only comfortable checking in on pets & walking them but I am extremely proficient in all things animal care when it comes to medical care. I have worked at multiple practices, ranging from Emergency & Critical Care to General Practices to Specialty (Neurology). I am Basic & Advanced Life Support certified. I can safely and efficiently administer medications for all pet needs. I am fluent in Spanish as well. I am free to care for our furry friends 24/7. I care for my own two furbabies but aspire to be a bridge between pet owners and pet care. I treat and care for animals as my own, because how you do something and how well you do it matters. I make sure I follow instructions very carefully to ensure a safe and happy reunification of pets and their owners.
